Remember when Patti Lefavre (mapei team boss) questioned Argos getting a pro tour card because he 'couldn't name even one of their riders'?! Now that several of those riders have handed him his ars on some big stages, is he learning their names now?

*yah, I know that's not his real name and that Mapei isn't the sponsor anymore.

Dunno....rumors indicate that this is potentially being driven by bike choice. A guy from Felt on ST even indicated that it could occur before the end of the year, although I find that kinda hard to believe. UCI kinda frowns on mid-season transfers.
